Luto Ni Aling Doray # 281 - Burger King's Breakfast Sandwiches

For the eggs, you will need to create a ring to make them
perfectly round (same as with an Egg McMuffin). Just cut both
ends off tuna cans, clean thoroughly, and you will have a mold
to use. Be sure to use non-stick spray around the sides that
touch the egg. When they're time to flip over, left the can
up and loosen the egg from the can with a knife.

> For The Biscuit Sandwich:
Use Pillsbury "Grands" Buttermilk Biscuits (Five biscuits per can)
1 Egg per biscuit
2 oz. ground breakfast sausage per biscuit, or two slices bacon
1 slice American cheese per biscuit

Prepare biscuits according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, cook bacon and/or sausage. Flatten the sausage out
to be about the same diameter as your tuna cans, and cook.

Beat each egg individually and fry using the molds. Salt and
pepper to your taste.
To assemble, slice biscuit in half; on the bottom, place the egg,
then sausage/bacon, topped with a cheese slice, and then top half
of biscuit. Microwave for about 30 seconds to melt the cheese.

> For the Croissanwich:
To prepare the large croissants, use 1 - 8 ounce can of Pillsbury
Original Crescent Rolls (normally, 8 rolls). Open the can and
separate the dough into four squares (two rolls per square). Take
one square, separate the pieces and turn one 180 degrees around to
form a large triangle. Pinch the dough in the middle to seal, and
roll up starting with the wide end. Then, take both ends and bring
together to form a tight circle. Repeat with others and cook
according to instructions. Top in the same manner as biscuits.

Luto Ni Aling Doray # 278 - Bob's Big Boy

1 pound ground chuck
8 jumbo sesame seed buns
1 cup shredded lettuce
4 slices real American cheese
salt
Sauce:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons sweet relish
2 Tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons water

In a small container, combine the mayo, relish, ketchup, and water.

Set aside. This is your Big Boy sauce.

Carefully form the beef into eight equal sized, round patties about
4" in diameter. Do this on waxed paper. Discard the top half of four
of the eight buns. Toast the the buns until golden. The extra bottom,
or "heal" is your middle bun, or "club".
After the buns are toasted, grill your freshly formed beef patties.

Salt liberally. Cook for about two minutes, then turn and add another
dash of salt. Cook for about another two minutes.

While the beef is cooking, dress your Big Boy buns as follows:

Put half the sauce on the toasted bottom, and the other half on the
middle, adding 1/8 cup of lettuce to each. The slice of cheese goes
on top of the lettuce on the true bottom bun.

When the beef is done, drain excess fat by tilting the patty to the
side while holding it to the spatula with your free hand. Put one
patty on each dressed bun, stack the center (non-cheese) patty/bun
on top of the bottom (cheesed) patty/bun. Finish by placing the
toasted crowns on top.

Luto Ni Aling Doray # 277 - A&W Chili Dogs

1 Sabrett brand 2 ounce beef frankfurter (7 1/2" long)
1 regular hot dog roll
3 Tablespoons A&W Coney Island Sauce (see recipe below)
1 Tablespoon chopped white onion
1/2 Tablespoon Kraft shredded mild cheddar cheese (optional)
A&W Coney Island Chili Dog Sauce:
1 pound ground chuck
1 - 6 ounce can tomato paste
1 Cup water
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 Tablespoon dried, minced onion
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (heaping)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

In a 2 qt. saucepan, brown the ground chuck, breaking into very
small pieces. Salt and pepper lightly while cooking. Do not drain
the fat. Add the remaining ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, 30-45
minutes until it thickens. Stir occasionally. Allow to cool, cover,
and refrigerate until ready to use.

Bring a 2 qt. saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Remove the
saucepan from the heat, and add the desired number of frankfurters
to the water. Cover and let sit about 10 minutes. After the franks
are done, microwave the desired amount of chili dog sauce until
steaming. Then microwave each roll 10 seconds, just enough to warm.

Remove the cooked franks with tongs, and place on the microwaved
hot dog roll. Add about 3 Tablespoons of your prepared sauce and
the chopped onion. Grated cheddar cheese is optional.

Luto Ni Aling Doray # 276 - Applebee's French Onion Soup

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 medium white onions, sliced
8 cups good quality beef broth
1 cup water
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 hamburger buns
10 slices provolone cheese
10 teaspoons shredded parmesan cheese

Heat vegetable oil in a large soup pot or saucepan over medium high
heat. Add the sliced onions and saute for 20 minutes until the onions
begin to soften and start to become translucent. Add the beef broth,
water, salt, garlic powder and black pepper to the pan and bring the
mixture to a boil. When soup begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer
for 45 minutes.

To make the croutons, separate the bottoms from tops of the hamburger
buns. Set aside the bottoms, and cut the crown of the tops to make them
the same size and shape as the bottoms. This gives you 10 BIG croutons.

Preheat oven to 325F. Place the bread in the the oven directly on the
rack and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until each piece is golden brown
and crispy. Set aside.

When the soup is done, spoon about 1 cup into an oven-safe bowl. Float
a crouton on top of the soup, then place a slice of provolone cheese
on top of the crouton. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of shredded parmesan cheese
over the provolone. Place the bowl into your oven set to high broil.

Broil the soup for 5 to 6 minutes or until the cheese is melted and
starting to brown (you may need to broil longer if you are making more
than one bowl at a time). Sprinkle an additional 1/2 teaspoon of shredded
parmesan cheese over the top of the soup and serve. Repeat for the
remaining bowls.
